What about the privacy of the DM? That always been a key element in D&D. The ability for the DM to prepare and set up what they're about to do while the players study the map and contemplate their options. With this table, it seems to me like all the DM's actions will be predisposed.

Battle map idea is great, but it would be far greater if the DM could premake his own maps and world before any campaigns or encounters.
